Web Requests / Tagged Web Requests - web request response time
folks,
this may be a FAQ.. so advance apologies if someone could quickly educate me.
We have a SOAP webservice that we are monitoring via Dynatrace.. We used "tags" when invoking the methods in the service call, so that it appears in the "Tagged Web Requests" dashlet.
Two of the columns.. Total Avg (ms) and Web Request Response Time Avg (ms) just don't make any sense. They both show equal values... and more or less correspond to the "Response Time" of the purepath created for that request.
I understand that "Response Time" doesn't include asynchronous requests.. which is why there is a "duration" column that sums up the entire end-to-end stack..
In our case, we have server-side async calls.. so Duration is 10x that of Response Time.. which is the realistic response time seen by the client of the service,
Isn't it logical to have Total Avg / Web Request response time Avg map to duration?
Is there a way we can expose end-to-end "duration" for a tagged web request, and get some stats (avg / min / max) on it?
Hi Satish,
Sorry, the tagged web request dashlet only has timings for the rendering of the web page - meaning the response time of the request. In most cases that is what you really care about, serving requests with an answer as quickly as possible.
In order to get what you are looking for I would build a custom BT, use a filter to get only tagged requests - combine that with a split by timer name and put both response time and duration as calculated results.
Best, Roman
